Former TV actor Edmund Chen says he is now ready to return to showbiz. 

The 63-year-old left the scene to take care of daughter Yixin when she was born in 2000.

When their first child Xi was born in 1991, Edmund and wife Xiang Yun were at the peak of their acting careers. They  did not get to spend much time with their son and that filled Edmund with remorse.

"Xiang Yun was so popular at the time, it'd be a pity for her to quit. So I would rather I give up my acting career," he told 8world, adding that he tried to get into other areas of work but failed.
